Actually, that's EXACTLY the sort of thing one expects now from Jesuit universities and, given Notre Shame's invitation to Obama, from all "Catholic" universities. More's the pity. - jim morgan Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:49:11 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/on-religion-a-liberalism.html#comment-1353 If anyone wishes to read a brilliant book on " relativism and the turn to the subject"...get "The Unlearned Lessons of the Twentieth Century" by the French political philosopher, Chantol Delsol...It is a fantastic expose on what has gone wrong with Western Civilization(which includes Alan Wolfe and Boston College)...see Amazon.com. - charles smith Sun, 05 Apr 2009 21:27:30 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/on-religion-a-liberalism.html#comment-1349 This belief has been taught in both public and Catholic institutions of learning for at least fifty years - our culture reflects the results of this "education" - this is one reason why one will not find anything "new" in Mr. Wolfe's book. - bob mitchell Sat, 04 Apr 2009 09:10:12 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/on-religion-a-liberalism.html#comment-1347 YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT BOSTON COLLEGE IS ALSO FOLDING TO THE PRESSURE TO TAKE THE CROSS OFF THE WALL IN CLASSROOMS - steven Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:28:11 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/on-religion-a-liberalism.html#comment-1345 Mr. Marlin: Great article, but I am confused why you refer to BC as a Catholic college. A few years ago, a pro-life man, deranged, entered an abortuary in Boston and shot and killed some female employees, one of whom was a student at BC. BC's response? It established an award in the dead abortuary worker's name! Every alumnus/a of BC I have ever spoken to insisted that Catholicism was treated there as a joke. - William H. Phelan Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:05:56 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/on-religion-a-liberalism.html#comment-1344 This twisted Kantian philosophy in denial of natural law is a recipe for chaos. Total autonomy is a freedom to do evil. It proposes abortion and euthanasia, the liberal sacraments. Fear not! It will fail. Everybody can't be right or there is no rule of law. No absolutes. No society. Why would anyone go to college if there is no truth. Would you pay to dabble in unreality. This education is a fraud. I do not think BC is the only Catholic college feeding students this pablum. What is college? - William Dennis Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:44:49 +0100
